Identify at least four prominent people or organizations related to your chosen discourse community (DC) who are posting on social media. Write an analysis of the content that is posted and the conversation that seems to be happening on social media. Platforms could include but are not limited to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Avoid writing about posts that are trying to sell a product.
Your paper should be about 1200 words in length, not including your Works Cited list.

In your introduction, tell us how you got started on your social media search. Explain what you expected to find and/or if you had high or no hopes for this activity. You will then move toward concluding the introduction with a thesis that represents a meaningful claim about your findings regarding the presence of your discourse community in social media.
It will be up to you to decide what material to include from your research prompts and how your main ideas might be best organized for readers. Remember, a paragraph is one idea long. Explore each idea in appropriate depth before moving on to a new idea and paragraph.
After your conclusion, in which you will offer a summation of your key points and how they support your thesis, include a list of Works Cited list for the social media sources you examined. (If you cited other sources, include these, as well.)
